NOVA: Zs & Coffee - Starbucks every Saturday @ 10AM

Anyone in the Mid-A have headers or test pipes on their car? I want to see how bad the smell of death is since that's the only thing keeping me from getting a set.

Good thing about it is that I have secured my job there for the fall and spring so I can spend my internship money on mods

I'll let you guys know when I find out.

Does this mean there will be a NOVA Z's discount at the gas station?

I don't even get my own gas or a discount there

We followed red6spd from VA to NC and not only was it loud but the exhaust made our eyes water...

Which one does he have? Is it really that bad or are you joking?

m4a1mustang · 06-16-2011, 07:37 PM

b1ades, we aren't joking. And it doesn't matter what brand. Test pipes are test pipes are test pipes... they ALL smell the same... like absolute sh1t. Just listen to us and forget the idea. Stick to stock cats or HFCs.

Yeah I get it. I just get all excited watching videos and crap. Since I have never seen/smelled it in person I have no clue how bad it actually is. Just that one first time should be enough to scare me away forever

You drive too fast for the exhaust gasses to keep up with you.

I was starting to eye the LTH but after your statement it is becoming unattractive.

b1adesofcha0s · 06-16-2011, 08:05 PM

That's why I like to see stuff in person first. Every person has a different opinion or tolerance for certain things, so checking it out in person gives you some perspective on whether you could live with it or not.

m4a1mustang · 06-16-2011, 08:12 PM

Yeah but Kirk and I have a lot of experience with cars (especially Kirk) so you should take our word for it.

I heard test pipes in person, they are unbelievably loud. I doubt you would be willing to take it on a daily basis. You'll probably get hate at your internship for having a really loud car.
